Delivering Happiness

Check out what showed up in the mail today:

A little gift from author (and founder of Zappos) Tony Hsieh. He gave copies of the book out to followers of his tweet stream @dhbook. The book released on Monday the 7th. By day three, both Amazon and BN.com had sold out (the irony is not lost on him, given that Amazon now owns Zappos.) I'm happy to get my hands on a copy.

An excerpt from Goodreads.com Founder & CEO Otis Chandler's review of the book:

“Tony Hsieh has some nerve suggesting that he built a billion dollar company in pursuit of happiness. But the surprising thing is I actually think he’s onto something. Something that cuts through a lot of corporate BS and really makes sense.

Tony’s thesis is basically that, whatever our intermediate goals in life are (get your dream job, make a lot of money, find the right girl, etc), our ultimate goal is simply to be happy. And what’s more, (this is the key), happiness in life has to come from your job as much as your personal life.”

Looking forward to cracking it open!
